Who knew sage and apple cider would create such a fantastic bread? This versatile loaf that has just a hint of sweetness makes wonderful sandwiches or stuffing. âChristine Wendland, Browns Mills, New Jersey Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1-1/4 cups warm apple cider or juice (110° - 115°) |
2 cups king arthur unbleached bread flour |
1/3 cup butter, melted |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 egg |
1/4 cup fresh sage, thinly sliced |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1-1/4 to 1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons 2% milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm cider. Add the bread flour, butter, sugar, egg, sage and salt. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a firm dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes. Brush with milk.
4. Bake at 375° for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
